With all the trouble that the Nintendo Wii has even playing Super Smash Brothers Brawl online, an MMORPG is completely out of the question.Originally Posted by ShlupQuack
As Omecle already mentioned, Xbox Live, while fantastic for multiplayer in most games, for whatever reason, does not respond well to MMORPGs. For example, it is almost impossible to participate in Besieged (an event in FFXI) if you're playing on the Xbox 360 as you will inevitably be disconnected at the end of the event (when you would receive your reward for participating). This is unacceptable, especially since this is something that the PS2 version is able to handle.
I'm still undecided regarding this game, and I'm going to postpone major judgment until the press conference tomorrow. I'm certainly excited, although I am shocked that it does seem so closely related to FFXI after they ensured us that it would be completely unrelated. I'm going to sit on other comments until after tomorrow, though.
